1
"You are the sons of the LORD your God; you shall not cut yourselves or make any baldness on your foreheads for the dead.
2
For you are a people holy to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, out of all the peoples that are on the face of the earth.
3
"You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4
These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5
the hart, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain-sheep.
6
Every animal that parts the hoof and has the hoof cloven in two, and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat.
7
Yet of those that chew the cud or have the hoof cloven you shall not eat these: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger, because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, are unclean for you.
